The One is the soul's ever-present companion and the power filling all forms; so the mind need not worry, and the servant freed from the chains of social rank can never be put back in bondage.
The Arc
Pauri 0: the One is near, the soul's companion, its creative power pervading all. The Pause (Pauri 1): no worry, no grief — the Beloved is imperishable and safe. Pauri 2: the servant bows to no worldly power; his King keeps his honor. Pauri 3: freed from social rank, who can re-bind him? Pauri 4: the One is free and carefree — sing His praises.

Themes and Cross-Connections
"Freed from the restrictions of social status, who can bind him?" is one of Aasaa's strongest Radical Inclusivity statements (cf. B00C662, B00C704, B00C746) — liberation from caste as a finished fact. The no-worry trust is the deep trust of Raag Gauree; the all-pervading kudrat joins the near companionship of B00C741. Fearlessness from the King's backing echoes B00C662.
For Raag Aasaa
